Can anyone give advice which it is felt best to buy and which soundcard or 
external audio interface would be a good upgrade. Funds are limited but I feel
it is important to spend the bulk of the money on a good computer spec.

Phil replied: go with the Intel.  Intel processors seem to bee a bit faster 
than AMD machines at the moment.  With regard to the sound card, how much money 
do you have to spend on that?

  Hi All

  My current PC is showing signs of going to the great networker in the sky, so 
I have been looking around at what to buy next taking into account the things I 
now want to do with my PC in addition to internet, word processing etc.

  I use Sonar 6.2 with Cake Talking 6.2 and Jaws 7.10. Jaws uses an external 
Apollo II synthesizer connected through the serial port and I use a 
SoundBlaster Audigy II soundcard with the breakout box for all audio 
connections (including Midi). I have been looking at two computers which have 
similar specs but have the following processors:

  1. AMD Athlon 64 x2 4200+

  2. Intel Core 2 Duo E4500

  Can anyone give advice which it is felt best to buy and which soundcard or 
external audio interface would be a good upgrade. Funds are limited but I feel 
it is important to spend the bulk of the money on a good computer spec.

  Best regards and thanks to all those who helped find instrument definition 
files for my Roland Juno G and Tyros II
